KODY Garland has become a brand ambassador of Aussie Racing Cars\u2019 naming rights sponsor in the latest twist following a dramatic Bathurst.<\/p>\n

Battery World has this week announced a direct tie-up with Garland, who won the 2025 Battery World Aussie Racing Cars Super Series crown, for its automotive campaign.<\/p>\n

The timing is intriguing, after tensions boiled over at the recent season-opener, resulting in Garland departing the race meeting (whether he was sent home or withdrew depends on which party you listen to).<\/p>\n

Either way, Garland is no certainty to return to the category, which will next hit the track in support of the Tasmania Super440 in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cKody is a champion who backs himself, works harder than anyone, and demands the best from every piece of equipment he runs,\u201d said Battery World general manager Johnny Kennedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur locally owned stores have been supporting Aussies with expert battery advice for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBacking Kody as our ambassador is a natural fit for who we are and what we stand for.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garland will pair up with Ayrton Hodson<\/a> for the upcoming TA2 Tag Team Enduro at Queensland Raceway.<\/p>\n
